In remembrance of the cattle of Le Beaufortain ... looking forward to @picnicpostnl helping @OscarOnley get up these slopes a bit faster than this ;)
When an ex Head of the #IDF lists the war crimes being carried out, it is clear the Israeli ruling class are split and worried about the consequences of trying to use starvation and military might to force the Palestinian people into leaving #Gaza. Time to keep up the pressure!
Well over a thousand people took part in a meeting tonight, with contributions from @jeremycorbyn and @zarahsultana, plus NEC members from #Unite #UCU #NEU #Unison #PCS and other trade unions, about the need to build, with trade unions and trade unionists at its heart, a new…

Around 250 million workers took strike action in #India on 9 July. Here's a report from trade unionists and socialists in Pune explaining Modi's attacks on trade union rights - and raising the need for unions to organise the unorganised. socialistworld.net/2025/07/11/ind…

Everything looked so calm and controlled as the whole #Tdf2025 peloton rolled through #Bethune. They will all be wishing @JasperPhilipsen a speedy recovery.

"The revolution will not be televised" - at least not if #Trump's thugs have their way - just like the Israeli right, the US right doesn't want its oppression broadcast to the world ...
